Atletico Madrid – Barcelona Tip Copa del Rey, first leg on Thursday, 12/02/26 at 21:00 CET
The semi-finals in the Copa del Rey bring back wonderful memories. After all, Atletico and Barca had already faced each other in last year’s semi-finals – and had separated in the first leg with a spectacular 4-4 draw.
Although the second leg played in Madrid only went to the Catalans with a narrow 1-0, this result was symptomatic of the current balance of power. As guests of Atletico, the Blaugrana are currently on a run of four wins in a row.
So it’s no wonder that the defending champions are already the favourites for the first leg on Thursday evening, as Hansi Flick’s team have been running smoothly in all competitions recently.
My Double Chance X2 is therefore a clear safety variant as an Atletico Madrid Barcelona tip, but thanks to the added option “Both teams score” at German bookmakers, it still has a solid odds.
Atletico Madrid vs. Barcelona AI Predictions:
Of course, our in-house AI is only enthusiastic to a limited extent by nature – but I still get the feeling from the forecasts made that even the artificial intelligence is looking forward to the upcoming encounter.
With the over 3.5 goals, it goes straight to the full in any case: If this tip hits the mark, it gives back the plenty of double the stake on the best sports betting apps.
After at least four goals were scored in three of last year’s four direct mandatory duels, this recommendation seems to me to be quite attractively quoted.
Predicted chance of winning:
| Victory Atletico |
Draw |
Victory Barcelona |
| 31.6% |
24.3% |
44.1% |
This is especially true because Barca alone has been driving up the number of goals quite reliably for months; in 16 of the last 17 competitive games, the Blaugrana have struck at least twice.
The AI tip on Over 1.5 Barca goals seems to be associated with very manageable risks, but still brings in a quite usable odds of around 1.65.
The 1×2 tendency of our AI then also tends towards the guests. The recommended combination of winning Barcelona & both teams to score is now good for odds of about 3.10.
